2. Some foreign houses in London, as well as in other countries, bought
a large number of his Catalogues, not as a _book_ but as a _catalogue_,
to be supplied to their customers at the bare cost, or, where it appears
advisable, to be delivered gratis to purchasers of a certain amount.
3. It appears to me pardonable if, under these circumstances, a notice
is inserted on the title, that orders may be directed to the house which
has purchased a number, and supplies them without any immediate profit;
and I may add that I do {313} not believe any of the houses concerned
would object to a notice being taken of such a proceeding in your paper.
4. The error in omitting the words "from 1700" on the title-page, is one
to which MR. DE MORGAN'S notice first directed my attention, classics
printed before that date not being commonly in demand among foreign
booksellers.
5. The practice of compiling catalogues for general use, with the names
of the purchasers of any number of copies of the catalogue inserted on
the title or wrapper, is very common in Germany.
